Objectives Prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery occurs in 15% of patients and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. We investigated the potential benefits of diaphragm pacing following cardiac surgeries to decrease ventilator burden.Methods A randomized controlled pilot study was conducted at 2 centres using diaphragm pacing in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery by median sternotomy. Enrolled patients had at least one pre-identified high-risk criterion for requiring prolonged ventilation. Diaphragm pacing was initiated postoperatively.Results Sixty-six patients were randomized into Standard of Care (34) and Treatment (32) groups. This study provides evidence that diaphragm pacing may reduce mechanical ventilation time and improve weaning success prior to 24 hours post-operatively. Treated patients had a total of 246 hours of mechanical ventilation compared to 670 hours for the standard of care group. Treatment group patients were more likely to be successfully weaned at 12 hours post-operatively, 83% compared to 65%, which represented an 18% absolute and 52% relative risk reduction. For the subset of 14 Treatment and 19 Standard of Care patients that required ventilation beyond 6 hours, those receiving diaphragm pacing had a reduced median time on ventilation: 8.3 hours (95% CI 7.1-12.5) compared to 16.8 hours (95% CI 8.1-23.4).Conclusions Diaphragm pacing may reduce the time on mechanical ventilation following cardiac surgery in patients at risk of prolonged ventilation. These results will inform the design of a prospective, pivotal, randomized controlled trial to assess the ability of diaphragm pacing to reduce ventilator burden in high-risk cardiac surgery patients.Clinical registration number Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT 04899856, NCT 05404477 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is used with open cardiac procedures to provide respiratory support for individuals unable to maintain spontaneous ventilation.
